i came up on a few of these beautiful, vintage gold dipped lockets... this is the first necklace i've made: mixed metal chain, (14k gold fill and oxidized sterling silver) with a 14k gold fill wire wrapped labradorite and a 14k white gold leaf. more one of a kind locket necklaces to follow...

i had the pleasure of running into my buddies lizzy and joey waronker today. and good thing too, since tuesday they take off to paris for two months. joey is an awesome drummer and lizzy is an amazing artist. hopefully when she gets back she will be showing her pieces somewhere. here are a few of my favorites, but please check the rest out HERE. they are all amazing.

my very fashionable friend brooke wants a new necklace for vegas. her two requirements are bright colors and leather. oh brooke. the materials i've decided on are hot pink fabric fringe, turquoise leather and gold chains. this should be interesting... i'll post the final result soon. in the meantime, here's brooke in the dark yet sunny bow tie. dressin it up and dressin it down...

my friend stacie gave me this stone pendant to do something with. since stacie is an artist with fun, creative style, i decided to make a kinda funky mixed metal chain for it. the chains are sterling silver, oxidized sterling silver, and 14k gold fill.

i have been working on some stuff like this for awhile now. big, bubbly wire wrapped beads mixed with chains and 14k gold charms. (in this case vintage australian opals and a 14k gold hammered disk) if this looks ridiculously small to be a bracelet it is because i have ridiculously small wrists. i'm keeping this one too... i will be listing others soon in the shop. its sad the camera doesn't pick up the awesome colors and flash in the opals. opals rule.

a couple of days ago i woke up with a fraction of a dream, an image of a jar of pickles on the ledge of a bathtub. kelly was like "your pregnant!". ha ha. not happy with her interpretation, i dusted off my old trusty dream dictionary and breathed a sigh of relief. this is what it said: 'Overall satisfaction with the general state of your life, love, and pursuit of happiness is forecast in a dream featuring pickles.'* Yup.

*upon hearing this, kelly felt it was important to mention that my eyes are the color of pickles.
